Massdriver
Massdriver is an internal developer platform and platform orchestrator. Platform teams publish the Terraform, OpenTofu, and Helm they already write to a catalog; developers and AI agents provision from it with policy enforced before every deploy. Self-hosted or managed.
Platform and operations teams encode their security, compliance, and cost requirements into pre-approved modules using the IaC tools they already use. Developers and AI agents discover and provision those modules from a central catalog, and policy is checked before anything is created. Built-in secrets management, monitoring, and attribute-based access control cover AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
Massdriver generates an ephemeral pipeline per deploy from each module's own tooling, so there are no standing CI/CD pipelines to maintain. Run it self-hosted, on-prem, or in your cloud, or let Massdriver manage it for you.
